FAQ
Golf questions, answered
Do I need a car?
Yes. Casares Costa Golf is a five-minute drive and the other four courses are between 10 and 25 minutes away — none of them is walkable from the apartment. The property includes private garage parking, so a hire car is the easiest way to plan a golf week here.
Can I play Valderrama?
Yes, but book well ahead. Valderrama is a private members club that admits a limited number of visitors, generally Monday to Thursday around midday, and one forecaddie per group is mandatory. Jeans, cargo shorts and flip-flops are not allowed. The visitor green fee is high and changes each season — check it and book directly at greenfees@valderrama.com. It is a 25-minute drive from the apartment.
Which course is best for the day you arrive?
Casares Costa Golf. Nine holes, par 34, five minutes away, laid out by Juan Carlos Martínez through vineyards and orange groves. Ideal for a half round after you land without committing to a full day.
When is the best time of year to play here?
The Costa del Sol plays year-round. Spring and autumn are the strong golf seasons — mild temperatures and courses at their best — so book tee times ahead. Winter is quieter and better value, though note the community pools close from 1 January to 30 April. In summer, tee off early and avoid the middle of the day.
